Ok, I replaced the washers in the original fittings but the leaks appear to be at the soft hose connect. Should I cut where the PEX fitting was completely off? Also, could I put a short braided supply line on the bathroom faucet? I currently doesn't have one, just the fitting directly to it.

Making up the adapters shown in post #3 of this thread will allow you to make a clean cut to the soft hose and attach this to a barbed fitting designed for braided hose.

I just got six of these and they are 1/2" ID and are soft. Lots of links that I see are too hard plastic washers not rubber..
